While I was away last week, Monevator published an excellent post, neatly summarising the benefits of index investing.
No, it contains nothing earth-shattering — or indeed anything you haven’t read several times before on The Evidence-Based Investor.

The list is also worth sharing with the unconverted. As Monevator says, you can choose to “make the journey in expensive luxury liners like actively managed funds, or in a one-man skiff tossed hither and thither by your own stock-picking”. But, frankly, why would you want to when indexing offers all this?
